DOVER - The weather outside is frightful.

And frigid.

And it's not going to get a lot better or warmer for several days.

That's the forecast and the reality of an arctic front that rolled in from Canada and the Midwest late Tuesday and is expected to hang around for at least a few more days. Daily low temperatures in the Tri-City area are expected to remain in the single digits until at least Sunday, and the highs aren't expect to go above freezing until at least Monday.

Temperatures below zero aren't out of the question. But don't feel too badly. It might not warm your heart, but it could be some small consolation that the temperature tonight in Berlin is supposed to plunge to -24. And the record low for Dover, set in 1961, is -28.
